Structuring bioeconomy-related production chains through the environmental restoration of smallholder farms, employing agroforestry systems to recover areas that are non-compliant with the Forest Code
Small family farmers
State of Rondônia – 15 municipalities: Porto Velho, Candeias do Jamari, Itapuã do Oeste, Alto Paraíso, Ouro Preto, Jaru, Mirante da Serra, Nova União, Vale do Paraíso, Teixeirópolis, Theobroma, Urupá, Cacaulândia, Ariquemes e Cacoal
Considering that a large portion of smallholder farms in Rondônia have environmental liabilities, there is a high demand for vegetation restoration associated with the structuring of productive chains. The project aims to support value chains such as cocoa and açaí, which have high development and income-generation potential in the region and can therefore be widely used in environmental compliance actions for rural properties under the Forest Code.
The project's coverage area includes municipalities located along the BR-364 corridor, a region that concentrates most of Rondônia’s smallholder farms and accounts for 85% of the state’s cocoa production. Given the high market demand for quality cocoa beans with traceability, the project will also invest in appropriate actions and infrastructure to support the production of such beans.
As a strategic approach, the project also seeks to integrate cocoa and açaí production with banana cultivation. Banana is a crop with strong regional potential and a short production cycle, allowing farmers to generate income throughout the year, including during the initial development phase of cocoa or açaí crops.
The project aims to structure bioeconomy-related value chains through the environmental compliance of smallholder farms, employing agroforestry systems to restore areas that are non-compliant with the Forest Code.
